title: [Not giving up prematurely. Rehabilitation instead of early pensions for officials with psychosomatic and addiction problems].
abstract: Many chances for a competent psychosomatic and dependence treatment for government employed people are still being overlooked. One-sided somatic fixation, premature urge for a permanent pension and indulgence are important contributing factors. There is, however, clear evidence that a sufficient in and/or out-patient treatment has a very favourable impact on the course of illness. The different therapeutic methods and their combination in a private psychosomatic hospital, which treats many government officials, are outlined and a clinical example is presented. Physicians in the public health sector are in the a singular position of helping to avoid premature pensioning and to keep the expenses caused by premature pensioning of people in government service low by means of informed and dedicated action.
